Hi all, I have had several throttle failures over the last few months. One of these was failed about 20 miles from home but was not an issue because it was on full/wide open throttle and I just worked the red button home. The other time was also 20 miles from home but I could not get any power so I had to peddle home 20 miles in the dark.
The throttle that failed on full power looks like one of the magnet came loose. You can see that both magnets are connected. I think that I can just super glue this back into place and have the throttle working again. My question is: does this magnet need to be aligned by polarity, or can I just glue it in any direction?
Here are some pictures:
You can see that one magnet is missing/out of place on the right.
Here are the throttles:

And a close up of the one that had the red wire disconnected from the sensor:
My question: Is there a quick fix that can be done out on a ride? I was able to pop this open and could see the problem but decided just to start peddling. Could two wires be spliced together and then use the red button to turn on/off the motor?
Thanks for any help
